My understanding is
There is no asymptomatic transmission: so if you have vesicles you have it otherwise You can’t pass it on .
It’s not sexual transmission as such . It’s skin transmission . So spending a lot of time on someone’s skin is how it’s transmitted
But this is an early report which I saw on the RTE website . Things could change |

Generally, monkeypox cases are mild and people tend to recover within weeks. But the death rate varies, depending on the type. The ECDC has said that the west African clade, the type so far seen in Europe, has a case fatality rate of around 3.6%
A lot less than 25% |

Be scared! It's coming! Get vaccinated quick! 
Btw fatality rate with this West Africa version is less than 1% and not 25% like stated in the op.
